Lines: 22 Message-ID: <325EFE5D.63E2@southwind.net> Reply-To: abcjr@southwind.net NNTP-Posting-Host: abcjr.southwind.net Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-Mailer: Mozilla 3.0 (Win95; I) It seems as if I have a little problem. I have tried numerous times to install via FTP and I fail when I try to initiate a PPP session to my ISP. During boot I '-c' and enter the visual config screen to make sure that base IO and IRQ settings are where they should be. Everything goes great until I type "term" and then.... Poof!... nothing. No echo of what I type nor is there any type of input going to the modem. Luckily I have always had a CD to install from and Once I install the system PPP works just fine, but now I wish to check out the latest SNAP and I am unable to do so. The last time I could install via PPP->FTP was the 2.1 960606 SNAP (I just tested it and it still works! Unfortunately it just did a newfs to my filesystem :-( ) I have searched the mail archives and I cannot find anything helpful there. I really hope that this is not something painfully obvious. The serial ports are on the motherboard but the on board COM2 is disabled and the modem takes its place but I really doubt that this is causing a conflict. I have posted with this question before but never got an answer. Now that I am a little more familiar with the OS I *really* want to know how come I can't get this to work.
